What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Stop Illegal Aliens Drunk Driving" Act, aims to change how the Immigration and Nationality Act treats certain driving offenses. It proposes adding driving while intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances to the definition of an aggravated felony. This change applies if the offense results in death or serious bodily injury to another person. The bill would make aliens convicted of or admitting to these specific offenses inadmissible to the United States. These new rules would apply to actions taken on or after the date the Act is enacted.
